Insurance Information
Dr. Lake is not paneled with insurance providers. This allows evaluations to be conducted comprehensively, without restrictions that many insurance companies place on evaluation scope or procedures.
Families who wish to seek reimbursement are encouraged to contact their insurance provider in advance. Following completion of the evaluation, Dr. Lake can provide appropriate billing and diagnostic codes when applicable.
Common Billing Codes:
96130 · 96131 · 96136 · 96137
Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE)
Dr. Lake also provides Independent Educational Evaluations. These are completed when a parent disagrees with the school district’s educational evaluation of their child.
For more information about this process, visit the IDEA federal guidelines or contact your district’s Department of Exceptional Children.
- An IEE is a second, independent evaluation conducted by a qualified professional who is not employed by the public school district.
- If parents disagree with the school’s evaluation, the district must either fund the IEE without unnecessary delay or file for due process to defend its own evaluation.
- Parents are entitled to one publicly funded IEE for each district evaluation they dispute; privately obtained IEEs may also be shared with the school.
- When an IEE is shared, the school must consider the results in decisions about services (if district criteria are met).
